THE ROUTES OF THE MEMORY: the virtual exposition cartes postales du québec d'antan as a source of historical information

Abstract

We present a virtual reading trip through the exposition Cartes postales du Québec d'antan, which is  part of the bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec. Based on the work Le Pays et la mémoire: pratiques et représentations de l’espace français chez Gilles Corrozet et Charles Estienne, de Chantal Liaroutzos, we conduct a research about the vulgarization and popularization of the historical knowledge in digital means. Our approach aims to get the study about a poetics of the space conducted by Liaroutzos, based on popular texts of the XVI century France, through a contemporary reading, carried out in electronic means, involving memory, patrimony, education and sources of historical information. It is an attempt to bring the history told in books, the ones from traditional collections in libraries, closer to the one presented in virtual means, especially concerning the didactic aspect of the teaching of History and the appropriations of what can be read on the Internet and the information sources.
